YA
Overweight teenage chef Cyril acts as matchmaker for the girl he loves and his best friend. When she begins to suspect the gourmet meals used to woo her are Cyril's creation, he must decide whether to risk their friendship by confessing the truth. The story is a lot slimmer than Cyril, but it's appetizing enough and includes recipes for Cyril's creations.
